In Oregon, the complexity of these laws may make it hard to know what you\u2019re entitled to and when.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You Need to Do It Soon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After an injury, it\u2019s natural for the initial response to be to take a break and take some time to recover. Unfortunately, seeking time off can harm your ability to get compensated, as you need to report these events quickly before you run into a legal time limit. Speak up as soon as you can to avoid more stress down the line.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You\u2019re Dealing With an Insurance Company<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting your compensation isn\u2019t as simple as just confronting your boss. These things aren\u2019t handled by your employer directly, that employer\u2019s insurance company usually handles them, and they won\u2019t want to make it easy. This is why a professional should be around, to help you seek the help you\u2019re entitled to and to accept nothing less.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You Need to Know Your Rights\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Above all, you need to know what you deserve and be willing to fight for those things. Worker\u2019s compensation includes medical care, various forms of monetary compensation, and in the case of wrongful death, benefits for the surviving family members. Don\u2019t let yourself suffer without proper compensation. Know what you\u2019re entitled to and understand that your employer can\u2019t take away these rights.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Help\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, these situations are complicated and stressful and may feel like an endless battle in addition to the suffering you\u2019ve already gone through. You need a legal team who understands Oregon law and cares about getting you the rights you deserve without unnecessary hassle in the meantime. <a href=\"https:\/\/letusfightforyou.com\/ppc\/contact\/\">Shlesinger &amp; deVilleneuve can help.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worker\u2019s compensation exists to help anyone who got hurt on the job, as it\u2019s the responsibility of the employer to minimize risk and ensure their employees are safe.
